Kalilah was in shock.
Faith, with a face mask on, strolled over. Stretching her neck, she asked, "Can you eat them?"
Chloe chuckled, "These aren't just any eggs. These eggs belong to the rattlesnakes."
In the livestream chat:
[Why is Faith such a foodie? She's only interested in whether it's edible]
[Rattlesnakes! If they bite you, you get two bumps: one on your body and one on the mountain]
[I heard these snakes are super protective of their eggs. They can track you by scent for up to thirty miles. Kalilah is so doomed]
That freaked Kalilah out completely. Her hand shook, and the rattlesnake eggs on the banana leaf fell to the ground, landing on her shoes. Terrified, she stomped her foot, smashing the eggs into a mushy mess.
Chloe frowned, "Kalilah, what are you doing?"
Kalilah had already taken several steps back, her arms crossed and a look of disgust on her face.
Chloe said, "You were supposed to return those eggs. Now, the mother snake will track the scent here. Do you want a snake watching you from your bedside tonight?"
Kalilah turned pale with fear. Almost reflexively, she snapped, "Chloe, why didn't you tell me sooner? Were you trying to kill me?"
Chloe looked exasperated.
[Is Kalilah out of her mind? Chloe was trying to save her, and she accuses her of trying to kill her]
